“As in all cases involving the death of an inmate, the CSC will review the circumstances. CSC policy requires that the police and the coroner be notified,” the press release states.
Sidoruk was 16 years old when he shot to death a close family friend, Yvonne Doucette, and James Pitt in October 1980 in Fort St. John.
He was sentenced to life imprisonment with no parole eligibility for 20 years after pleading guilty to two counts of second-degree murder.
